PASC24 New Year News

New Year wishes

We hope that you had a good break over the holidays and a great start to the New Year! We wish you all the best for 2024! 

We are excited to start off the year with some good news: a call for poster contributions sponsored by ACM, and several travel grant opportunities offered by SIGHPC!

ACM Student Research Competition: Call for Posters (by March 1)

The PASC24 Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that this year, for the first time, we are hosting a Student Research Competition sponsored by ACM with some travel financial support generously offered by SIGHPC. The competition seeks submissions from students who wish to showcase their research in the form of a poster presentation at the conference.

Authors who already responded to the PASC24 call for posters are welcome to submit a contribution also for the ACM Student Research Competition. The two submissions will be treated as independent contributions. The new submission will follow the ACM standard conference terms, and will be evaluated by a separate committee.

The ACM Student Research Competition submission consists of a 2-page extended abstract following the ACM standard conference template. The competition is organized in several phases. The 2-page abstracts will be evaluated, and a maximum of 20 authors will be invited to present a poster at the conference for further assessment. The first round of judging will select the top six posters. Authors will be invited to present the content of their research within the conference program in a 10-minute talk. During the closing ceremony three posters will be recognized based on the final round of ranking.

SIGHPC has generously agreed to help support travel. Students traveling from within Europe will be awarded a maximum grant of $500, and a maximum allowance of $1000 will be given to the selected students traveling from other continents. Moreover, PASC24 will cover the corresponding registration fee for the selected students.

Poster submissions should be made through the PASC24 online submission portal, and will be reviewed by domain experts from the PASC24 ACM Student Research Competition Committee chaired by Jay Lofstead (Sandia National Laboratories, USA).

Please refer to the Guidelines for the ACM Student Research Competition for further information.
